The Recorder has Justice Goodwin Liu Shared Views on Jury Selection With Lawmakers Weighing Bill -- "In these communications, Justice Liu made clear that it's not his role to tell legislators how to vote on this or any other bill,” a spokesperson for the Judicial Council said Tuesday.
“Justice Liu answered inquiries about what the bill would do and how it differs from current law,” said Peter Allen, public affairs director for the Judicial Council. “In these communications, Justice Liu made clear that it’s not his role to tell legislators how to vote on this or any other bill.”
Liu’s involvement with the legislation, though unusual for a court that generally eschews contact with political matters, does not appear to violate any judicial canons, said retired state appellate Justice Tom Hollenhorst, a former chair of the Center for Judicial Education and Research governing committee.
